At least half of our users have two monitors connected to their computer; however, LANSweeper will oftentimes only register that one monitor is connected. Can anyone tell me a)what LANSweeper is looking at to detect the monitor, b)why it sometimes picks up two and sometimes only picks up one, and c)how to make sure it picks up everything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lansweeper pulls monitors from the client machine's registry. It's possible that the problem monitors are not stored in the registry or that they share a serial with another monitor, in which case they'll be overwritten upon scanning. Serials are used as part of internal monitor IDs. It is known that some manufacturers only store partial serials for some of their monitor models, resulting in duplicate serial entries in the registry (and only one monitor entry remaining in the database).
